Identify the source of this page on GAL Projects

[overscan (PaulMM)]

have attached a page which I think comes from an old issue of Aeroplane - in fact the scan may originally even have come from the Forum itself. Trouble is there is no date and so I cannot order a better quality copy. Could anyone who has Aeroplane issues from the 1940s and (I assume) early 1950s have a look to see which issue this piece came from please? It would be much appreciated.

The only alternative might be The Aeroplane Spotter. I am pretty sure it is not from Flight magazine.

Many thanks indeed. Very best wishes, Tony.

The GAL.53 jet fighter looks very interesting, similar intake to a generic drawing Aeroplane published in their 1944 book on Jet Propulsion.

If anyone fancies having a go at roughing out a ga. drawing of the GAL. design based upon the articles dimensional data il make a model of it

My dear Lark sent to me those pages from many years.

Nobody was claiming it was new, just providing Tony with the information he requested.

Thank you gentlemen. Excellent stuff. I had no idea that there was a data sheet as well. Tony.

I know Tony is primarily interested in wartime and post-war aircraft that go BANG but it is worth pointing out that the project list in that article does contain errors in the pre-war part (descriptions etc that do not match tender documents etc). So treat the list with some caution.
